Moist Butter Cake

I don’t think I have cooked anything from a blog as fast as this one.Last Sunday morning,I was home alone and as usual,was blogopping when I saw this utterly butterly Butter Cake at Maria’s blog.I read through the ingredients and surprisingly,I had everything ready in my kitchen.The recipe is super easy and can be almost termed as a beginner baker recipe.There is almost no effort involved.Literally dump everything into a mixing bowl,beat well till everything is mixed and there you have your cake batter ready.

I immediately got up and set about baking it.Only change I did was adding 2 eggs,instead of 3 as mentioned in the recipe.But still the cake turned out great..soft,moist and delicious.I have no memories of home-made cakes as baking was not a part of our cooking regime.I sure can relate to it in terms of the butter cake we bought from Best bakery.It tasted almost similar,but better.In fact,when I gave a slice to Ajay,he said it is better than McRennet’s Butter Cake,one which we used to buy regularly before my baking adventures.[*silently gushing in glory:)*]

MethodPreheat oven to 180 C, 10 mins before baking.Grease a deep 20 cm/8 inch round cake tin; line base with baking paper.Beat ingredients in medium bowl on low speed with electric mixer until just combined.Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and changed to a paler colour. Pour mixture into prepared pan.Bake cake in the preheated oven for 40-50 mins or until the skewer inserted comes out clean.Stand cake 5 minutes then turn onto wire rack; turn cake top-side up to cool.Dust cake with a little sifted icing sugar, if desired.Notes

Same here divya i dont have ne baking memories apart from narayan katar vch amma used to ggive in a bakery to bake..... this luks so soft nd moise nd as u said i added homey instead of sugar nd it tastes good :)

Am drooling at this one Divu..a bit different recipe came to my mind when I read ur note, 'may look curdled' Deeba's Van.Cup cakes which I hv baked n lost count now :D AM surely gonna try this one out..my type of cake! Urs looks just amazingly good ..my craving has increased just by the looks of it :D

Its 1:30am here in Australia and I've just popped this cake into the oven *fingers crossed* this is my first cake ever! I don't bake, I just cook mains. Ha ha. Thanks for the recipe. I made it with brown sugar. The batter tasted so good! I was happy to just eat the batter without ovening I reckon.

i divya even i tried the recipe from maria . it did taste good.. but it had a very thick crust.. and since it s my first ever baking (i hav gt an IFB MW convection oven). i let it go.... but it taste really good....

Hi Divya, love your recipes ....each one i have tried out is perfect. The Moist butter cake has come out exactly like the picture you have posted. My mother makes the same cake the only difference being she adds the eggs separately and beats the egg whites fluffy. Also does not add soda. THank you.
